# Usage
If you are coming from Radarr or Sonarr you will find that MediaManager does things a bit differently. Instead of completely automatically downloading and managing your media, MediaManager focuses on providing an easy-to-use interface to guide you through the process of finding and downloading media. Advanced features like multiple qualities of a show/movie necessitate such a paradigm shift. So here is a quick step-by-step guide to get you started:
#### Downloading/Requesting a show
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Add the show
Add a show on the "Add Show" page. After adding the show you will be redirected to the show's page.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Request season(s)
Click the "Request Season" button on the show's page. Select one or more seasons that you want to download.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select qualities
Select the "Min Quality" — the minimum resolution of the content to download.\
Select the "Wanted Quality" — the **maximum** resolution of the content to download.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Submit request
Click "Submit request". This is not the last step: an administrator must first approve your request for download. Only after approval will the requested content be downloaded.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Finished
Congratulation! You've downloaded a show (after admin approval).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
#### Requesting a show (as an admin)
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Add the show
Add a show on the "Add Show" page. After adding the show you will be redirected to the show's page.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Request season(s)
Click the "Request Season" button on the show's page. Select one or more seasons that you want to download.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}

Select the "Wanted Quality" — the **maximum** resolution of the content to download.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}

{% endstep %}
{% step %}

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
#### Downloading a show (admin-only)
You can only directly download a show if you are an admin!
{% stepper %}

{% endstep %}
{% step %}

Click the "Download Season" button.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Enter season number
Enter the season number that you want to download.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Optional file path suffix
Optionally select the "File Path Suffix". Note: **it needs to be unique per season per show!**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Choose torrent and download
Click "Download" on the torrent that you want to download.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Finished
Congratulation! You've downloaded a show.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Open Requests page

From the Requests page you can approve, delete, or modify a user's request.
